Abraham Lincoln by Drew Friedman (All the Presidents, Fantagraphics, 2019)

Pennsylvania-based illustrator Drew Friedman has employed his intensely realistic, warts-and-all style of caricature to satirize celebrity and authority for four decades.

In his latest book from Fantagraphics, All the Presidents, Friedman points his pen at the exclusive club of the United States presidents.
